    Answer: The approximate values that every player make are,

    Tammy = grace = 5.43 baskets

    Jenny = 16.30 Baskets

    Alex = 11.43 Baskets

    Joan = 1.43

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let Grace made x baskets.

    Then According to the question,

    Jenny made baskets = 3x

    Alexis made basket = x + 6

    Joan made basket = x - 4

    Tammy made baskets = x

    Since, Altogether the five players made 40 baskets.

    ⇒ x + 3x + x + 6 + x - 4 + x = 40

    ⇒ 7x + 2 = 40

    ⇒ 7x = 38

    ⇒ x = 38 / 7 = 5.42857142857 ≈ 5.43

    Thus, Grace made baskets = Tammy made baskets = x = 5.43

    Jenny made baskets = 3 * x = 16.2857142857 ≈ 16.30

    Alexis made basket = x + 6 = 11.4285714286 ≈ 11.43

    Joan made basket = x - 4 = 1.42857142857

    ≈ 1.43
